CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: LIVE BROADCAST: TEXTBOOK-LEVEL STRAIGHT MAN

"The landlord said the house was indeed sold, sold to a young man named Lin Fan. Are you really Lin Fan?"

Zheng Miaomiao asked, somewhat skeptical. Although Lin Fan was handsome, he was dressed in cheap clothes and didn’t look like a rich person at all. You know, this house is worth over a hundred million—only billionaires could afford it!

Lin Fan was prepared, took out his ID card and a red booklet, and handed them to Miao Miao.

Miao Miao took them, first looking at the ID card. It was indeed named Lin Fan, but to confirm if he was the landlord still needed further verification.

Miao Miao opened the property certificate.

Property Owner: Lin Fan!

It seemed to be true, then—this young man was really the owner of this house.

Wait a minute!

Miao Miao noticed something and said, "You got it wrong. I’m on the 12th floor. This property certificate is for the 16th floor. Hey, aren’t you the landlord here?"

Lin Fan took the property certificate back for a look. Indeed, it was for the 16th floor, so he took out two more property certificates.

"Sorry, I grabbed the wrong one. This is the one for the 12th floor." Lin Fan found the property certificate for the 12th floor and handed it to Miao Miao for her to see.

At present, there were only three tenants in this building. He came today intending to meet all of them, so he brought all three property certificates.

Miao Miao’s eyes lit up when she saw his three red booklets.

Oh my!

He actually had three Tangchen Yipin property certificates!

"Well...do you really have three units here?" Miao Miao’s voice was trembling slightly.

Lin Fan said coolly, "No."

Miao Miao asked curiously, "No? Then how come you have three property certificates?"

Lin Fan said, "I don’t have three units—I have 40 units; this entire building is mine."

"What?"

Miao Miao was stunned. Having three units already made her excited—owning a whole building, what kind of concept was that?

Oh my god, could Lin Fan be a billionaire?

Her landlord turned out to be a billionaire?

Lin Fan put away the property certificates and said, "Now that you’ve confirmed my identity, you can pay the rent, right? The rent is 100,000 yuan, excluding utilities and management fees, totaling 105,800 yuan. Just transfer it to my bank account, thanks."

A rent of over 100,000 a month!

The comments section exploded instantly.

"Wow, Miao Miao actually lives in such an expensive house!"

"No wonder Miao Miao said she couldn’t afford the rent—this is too expensive!"

"Where is this place? How can it be so expensive!"

"Oh my, is the house gilded?"

"The landlord has a whole building with 40 units, so he earns at least 4 million in rent every month!"

"Wow, the landlord is super rich!"

"Kneeling for the tycoon!"

Miao Miao bit her lip, putting on a pitiful look, "Landlord, handsome brother, can I pay the rent a little later? I don’t have that much money right now."

Lin Fan responded with an "oh": "According to the information you registered, are you a streaming host?"

Miao Miao said, "Yes, I am a streaming host."

Lin Fan glanced inside and saw some streaming equipment in the living room, and it seemed like it was live streaming.

If it was live streaming, that meant someone was watching them.

Lin Fan said, "I’ve heard streaming hosts earn quite a bit, and you can afford to live here, so your income shouldn’t be low. How can you not afford the rent?"

Miao Miao said, "Actually, it’s not that profitable in this line of work, and I’ve had a lot of expenses recently, so I really have no money left. Handsome brother, feel sorry for me. You wouldn’t turn a blind eye, would you?"

Miao Miao looked at Lin Fan intently, with a flirtatious expression in her eyes.

Lin Fan admitted, Miao Miao was a real beauty; she scored above an 8, close to a 9.

He had always been a gentleman towards beautiful women, but the premise was that the other party should be honest with him. If she was calculating against him, that was a different matter.

According to the tenant registration information, Zheng Miaomiao was a major host on the Teasing Whiskers Livestream platform, earning a million a month, well capable of paying the monthly rent.

The possibility of her not having the money for rent was very small.

Now she was asking for a delay in paying rent and was intentionally live streaming—she either wanted to act pitiful in front of the audience to get gifts or was trying to fool him.

"How many days do you plan to delay?" Lin Fan asked calmly.

Zheng Miaomiao said, "Could I pay it next month?"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Sorry, you can’t. According to the rental agreement, you have to pay the rent on time, otherwise, as the landlord, I can terminate the contract and ask you to move out immediately."

The comments section suddenly became lively.

"Wow, a ruthless rejection!"

"Miao Miao’s beauty trap didn’t work!"

"Awesome, the landlord must be a straight man, not caring about beauty at all."

"If it were me, I’d agree with Miao Miao!"

"Miao Miao, come live at my place, free for life!"

Miao Miao saw Lin Fan’s decisive rejection; she was unwilling. With so many people watching the livestream, it would be embarrassing if she fails.

If it were the previous landlord, she could have charmed him with just a smile.

It seemed dealing with Lin Fan needed more effort.

Miao Miao looked pitiful and said, "Landlord, handsome brother, you’re so heartless. I’m so sad."

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "Not getting the rent makes me even sadder."

Miao Miao purposely sighed, "Alright then, brother, just come in and sit for a moment. Let me check how much money I have and transfer it to you."

Miao Miao stepped aside, letting Lin Fan enter the room.

Lin Fan entered and sat on the living room sofa.

Miao Miao enthusiastically went to the side, poured a glass of water, and walked up to Lin Fan, bending down and sweetly saying, "Brother, have some water."

She purposely bent over, making her neckline intriguingly deep.

Lin Fan naturally noticed, and he had to admit, it was pretty nice. Since it was offered willingly, Lin Fan saw no reason to be polite.

Miao Miao took the opportunity to sit in front of Lin Fan, a waft of warmth in the air.

"Landlord, handsome brother, I just checked, I really don’t have that much money. Either you delay the rent for a month or waive some of it. What do you think? I’d be really grateful."

Miao Miao said coquettishly, her hand brushing lightly over Lin Fan’s hand, seemingly hinting at something.

This approach was practically textbook flirtation, and she didn’t believe Lin Fan could remain unaffected; with her beauty, even a cold-hearted person would melt!

Lin Fan said, "How much do you need me to waive?"

Miao Miao secretly rejoiced, thinking Lin Fan had softened, and her plan was working: "Just waive the utilities and management fees, round it to a nice 100,000, okay? With so many properties, 5,000 is nothing to you. I think it’s doable!"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "5,000 isn’t much, but it’s not about the money. Waiving is impossible; if I set this precedent, everyone else will come and ask for exceptions—then what?"

Another failure!

Miao Miao was unwilling; why wouldn’t Lin Fan budge? Was it that her charm wasn’t enough?

Impossible!

Miao Miao smiled charmingly and asked, "Landlord, handsome brother, can I ask you a personal question? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Lin Fan said, "No."

Miao Miao said with affection, "Then what do you think of me?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "I think you should pay the rent immediately."

Pfft!

Viewers watching the livestream either sprayed their water or choked on their food.

"I’m laughing so hard; Miao Miao was implying to become his girlfriend, and he totally didn’t catch on."

"We’ve found the reason he’s single!"

"He’s the ultimate straightforward man!"

"Miao Miao, just give up and pay the rent!"

Miao Miao was frustrated, even a bit angry; her beauty trap had utterly failed. This Lin Fan was too infuriating!
